Ukip’s campaign is really kicking off

THE start of Paul Nuttall’s bid to become an MP was marred yesterday as police were called to a fight outside a Ukip event.

Two women were arrested prior to a planned speech by the Ukip leader in Hartlepool.

Mr Nuttall, who said he would stand for the Boston and Skegness seat in June, said neither of the pair were Ukip members and blamed ‘hard-Left activists’.
